It looks all blue and pretty with the warm-looking yellows, but West Clare in winter is not a warm place - it was baltic. And the sea was rough and dangerous-looking too. Only the very sheltered beach in Kilkee was calm.

And the only reason I know the tide was coming in was because we noticed there was no more beach when we got close to the island about an hour later, I think it's a couple of miles away from the village of Ballyheigue, where the creek that goes into Lough Akeragh divides the beach in two.

Done in acrylic paint on canvas with palette knife, for a change. Second or third completed painting of 2018. Will be framed up in due course.
